Not being funny babe but it really doesn't make much sense to say things like "Rafa could have won X tournament if Y player had taken out Z player for him" because we could make the same argument for so many other ATGs over the years in tournaments they failed to win, or for instance if Federer hadn't taken out Djokovic at RG 2011, Novak would've become French Open champion five years earlier than he did and your favourite would have one less major title.

See, I can play this game too!

The cold hard truth is that Nadal was simply never good enough to win the WTF and it will likely always remain the biggest stain on his admittedly very impressive resume.
